Aarons could hardly see clearly.

How much time had passed since the battle began? How many monsters had been repelled by the warriors on this line of defense? His brain was no longer able to think about these questions.

——Because from the beginning to the end, the human side never really had any advantages.

"Let the wounded come back...Team Eight, the rest time is over."

After all, human physical strength is limited. Even if they can come back to rest temporarily with precise personnel coordination, they cannot quickly recover their full combat effectiveness.

If Aarons had not accurately pointed out the weaknesses of the monster group and quickly formulated a response strategy, the soldiers who had already been exhausted would probably not have been able to hold on for even three minutes.

——It is precisely because he has always insisted on standing in this place with the broadest view to command the overall situation that the situation here has not collapsed completely.

"The healer's magic power has been exhausted! And five magicians have also run out of magic power!"

"The artillery array on the north wall is damaged! There is no way to repair it now!"

"Master...how is Master Aarons' injury?"

Hearing these cries of hope, Aarons laughed again.

Whenever his heart began to be overwhelmed by overflowing fear, he would laugh without hesitation - he used his laughter to mock his own weakness while also inspiring those who were still fighting.

"Hehe... Young Master, I am still alive..."

Several bones in his body were broken by the flying rocks, and his shoulders and waist were cut by wind and ice blades. Even the clothes that had been strengthened by magic were now covered with burn marks.

——It’s not that no one was willing to protect him, but everyone had to fight with all their might to barely repel the frenzied monsters, and no one had the energy left to specifically defend him from attacks.

"The rock and earth cattle herd is retreating... Wait, is that a thunderbolt?"

"It's a high-level magical beast! That lightning——"

Before the magicians on the wall could finish their words, several purple lightning bolts shot out from afar, hitting the earth wall directly and burning huge holes in it.

"Above level 4 monsters! Everyone be careful——"

“…Everyone, retreat to the rear immediately! Kuran and Karin, you are the only ones who can stop that guy!”

Magical beasts are inherently much stronger than humans of the same level, and a fourth-level magical beast can easily defeat the fighting spirit defenses of third-level warriors with brute force alone.

This magical beast can even release laser-like magic at a distance beyond the field of vision - if these exhausted people were allowed to fight again, there might be heavy casualties.

"This is... an order! You... must all stay alive!"

Before Aarons' voice could be fully heard, a purple lightning bolt accurately hit his feet.

"Master——"

——Karin, whose body had already begun to feel numb, witnessed with her own eyes the glowing figure being blown away by the sudden explosion of lightning.

The dull pain coming from the contract also made her clearly feel the pain that Aarons was experiencing.

"…Ms. Karin, the enemy is coming!"

If Kuran's voice had not interrupted her daze in time, the lightning would have hit her body by now.

“Hoo—Ahhhh! You…you!”

"Hey... don't be impulsive. This young master is not dead yet."

Although he was quite weak, Aarons' voice still clearly spread throughout the battlefield.

"Kulan, please hold that guy back for now... Karin, go use the psychic energy pipeline in the northern array... It's all up to you."

The amplified sound was full of turbid bubbles, as if something had blocked Aarons' throat.

——I’m afraid it’s the blood that flows upstream.

"Ms. Karin! Go!"

"……knew!"

Karin suppressed the pain in her heart and transformed her exhausted body into a galloping wolf. In an instant, she rushed out of everyone's sight.

At this moment, the strong man wrapped in lightning finally rushed into the battlefield.

"I've never seen a monster like this before... Is it a thunder attribute?!"

——The huge tiger body that was constantly emitting lightning was completely covered with brown-black fur. The head and forelimbs covered with alien white bone armor clearly demonstrated its supreme power.

Roar!

With a roar that shook the earth, five crimson stripes like a cloak rose from the back of the monster. In an instant, five spherical lightning bolts appeared out of thin air from the ends of the stripes, shooting out violent lightning in all directions.

Just by seeing such a scene, many people have lost the courage to fight... and this is just a magical beast of about level four.

"...Everyone, retreat. Prepare the artillery in the south...Kulan, buy Karin a few minutes!"

"Got it, watch me!"

Although his fighting spirit was almost exhausted, after hearing Aarons' instructions, Kuran immediately unleashed a brilliant aura on himself.

"Let me see what you are capable of!"

……

Aarons' physical strength had long been exhausted.

He was not a warrior and had no props prepared to restore his strength.

After using his own body to induce the magic of countless monsters, allowing the magicians on the wall to safely counterattack, he almost didn't even have the strength to stand.

After the sudden lightning shattered the soil beneath his feet, he was covered in wounds and finally could not maintain his posture and fell backwards.

The magician Youman who had been accompanying him was injured in the previous attack and had retreated to receive treatment. So when Aarons fell backwards, another person supported his body from behind in time.

"Master, you need to take a rest..."

"You little brat, why are you here... Hey, just give me a hand... I still need to stand..."

Aarons, whose leg bone was broken and whose waist was torn, had actually lost the strength to stand long ago.

——But he still didn't fall.

"Did you hear that...our backup is coming soon."

A dull roar continued to come from the darkness in the distance. It was the sound of magic bombarding the earth, and it was also the most anticipated hope of the people on this line of defense.

——The Empire’s border guards will be here soon.

"See... Even if there are only these people, they can still stop those monsters..."

Perhaps because his consciousness had begun to blur, Aarons even forgot that the magic loudspeaker in his hand was still working.

His voice, which had almost lost all its strength, still reached everyone's ears.

“Haha… Even a useless person like me… I can still do something…”

Aarons, who could hardly see anything, raised his hand again at the last moment and pointed the only remaining light in his body toward the flashing lightning.

"That's the final goal...kill it!"
